Thanks for stopping by! :)
Great poin...Hi Caitlin! Thanks for stopping by! :)<br /><br />Great point about how frozen seafood is also &quot;fresh.&quot; And you&#39;re right that the frozen scallops are harder to caramelize, although I have been able to by using a heavy and hot pan and just a few scallops. Or I just use them in dishes where caramelization isn&#39;t as important; in sauces like the one above or in a spicy tomato broth (I usually mix with clams); also in soups and chowders.Alejandra Ramoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01188236667131395996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720533874747570790.post-91625381382494558672010-04-09T11:09:21.522-04:002010-04-09T11:09:21.522-04:00Another bonus on frozen shellfish (in addition to ...Another bonus on frozen shellfish (in addition to how fast it defrosts) is it is usually fresher than the &quot;fresh&quot; from the seafood counter or fishmonger. Most shellfish is frozen directly on the boat, so when you buy it &quot;fresh,&quot; it really just means they have defrosted it for you. <br /><br />I always have shrimp on hand for speed and ease - now I am going to add bay scallops. I haven&#39;t tried frozen because I thought with the water content, they were harder to caramelize - but maybe that is just for the larger sea scallops?<br /><br />Thanks for this idea ... and your link ... now I&#39;m off to see what else I missed on your blog!caitlinhttp://caitlindentino.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720533874747570790.post-36806271090254008942010-04-08T14:39:27.477-04:002010-04-08T14:39:27.477-04:00I am totally with you on frozen seafood.

They cook quickly - served over pasta like you&#39;ve done here, or with a frozen baguette and fresh, microwave steamed vegetables, it&#39;s on the table in 10-20 minutes. Thin pork chops and thinly pounded and then frozen breast of chicken work just as well. <br />Great article.Waverlyhttp://www.peaceandloveinthekitchen.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720533874747570790.post-69709012163035987632010-04-08T13:42:13.061-04:002010-04-08T13:42:13.061-04:00I&#39;ve been having a small love affair with Bay ...I&#39;ve been having a small love affair with Bay scallops myself recently.
